Thanks guys, giving a lot of attention to this project manily because of the Z love and to see if I can pull it off or not
Loving the work being done on the car, didn't visit them for a week but as per owner of Peak Performance here in Dubai car is almost done and will be ready from his side by this week. I took some pictures week back when they fitted the sway bars. I went with MSA sway bars both front and rear, usually people dont run rear sways on 240Z, but as I worked so much on the suspension so went with these as well. Not sure how the ride will be with coil overs, full front and rear suspension changed and all solid mounts for engine, differential. Front Sway Bar New holes drilled Fits nicely with Techo Toy Tuning TC Rods and Camber arms. Rear ones Drilled in the body and bolted from inside the cabin Oil cooler brackets are finalized Will fit the wheels today so can do the final adjustments on the camber/caster and if the track needs to be widened or not |

Ok fitted the wheels and seems like problem of tire rod end hitting the wheels barrel is gone after tweaking the camber arms and TC rods or maybe because of installation of sway bars
WORK CR01 15 X 8.5 and 9.5 with Bridgestone RE11 195 50 15 and 205 50 15 Coilovers are set of high level will lower at time of alignment This is the dropped height as of now Very relieved on the front ones Perfect offsets either to run on slightly negative camber or with fender flares Center cap is not fitting in the front might need some alteration Installed with Kics Neo Chrome long open lugs . I like how the rotors are peeking though the wheels |

forgot to write stock fuel rails are So ordered fuel rails for slightly bigger injectors and got excited so order GReddy intake manifold along with universal 80mm throttle body. So no more IC pipes taking turns inside the engine bay Only thing would be some custom work needed to fit the manifold on a NEO engine |

Being a huge fan of Chip Foose have watched Overhalling again and again lol, so wanted to do 10% of what he does to the cars.
Was waiting till the main work is done to start of heat and sound insulation, only thing came to my mind was Dynamat products. SWISS AUDIO FTW, They did an awesome work on my 370Z and now this they are working now on installation First they are doing a Dynamat Extreme, which will be stuck on the firewall, full floor, trunk, rear side fenders, doors and even the roof, main purpose was to reduce road noise, engine sound/vibrations and heat from the exhaust. Dynamat XTREME I love the way Swiss Audio guys work, they removed everything from the car even the brake and accelerator to cover the whole area. I took some phone pics yesterday while they were doing, rest might take today Once its finished it will be covered with DynaPad, which will hopefully eliminate all heat and acoustic issues at all. DynaPad, |

Dynamat thing is done, still I need the doors to be done but that will be after I change the window channel and most probably will be at the time of audio install.
Dynapad was a smaller piece so just in main three places. Some installed phone pictures was more worried about the the holes next to the fuel cell now all covered up Other areas Firewall area most important Rest all finished Car is off the jack so took some pictures Waiting for intake manifold, fuel rails and 80mm throttle body to finish off the work, parts will be here by Sunday Meanwhile doing some DIY to fit the Autometer guages, Im using the stock guage housing and installing the meters in that, sizes are bit different so gaps will be filled by Bondo and a respray on the whole dash |
